Chapter 194 of Demon Slayer hit the shelves yesterday – real and virtual! The chapter is a relatively mellow read but adds crucial detail to the arc. The highlight of the chapter lies in Tanjirou’s epiphany at the climax regarding defeating Muzan.
The chapter sees Obanai help Tanjiro take on Muzan while Yushiro and the team attempt to heal the rest. Unfortunately, it is revealed that Himejima is in a rather critical condition.
1. Chapter 195 Release Date & Speculation
Demon Slayer’s next chapter – 195 – will be released on February 23rd, 2020. The chapter will likely see a group effort to tackle Muzan by working on his weak points noted by Tanjiro. Most likely, it will see the Pillars recuperate and re-strategize.
2. Chapter 195 Theories
The previous chapter – 194 – ends with Tanjiro noticing Muzan’s scars inflicted by Yoriichi hundreds of years ago. These scars haven’t healed entirely over the years and have been etched into Muzan’s cells. As theorized, multiple factors will lead to Muzan’s defeat – Tamayo’s medicine, the scars, the 13th form of Hinokami Kagura, and a group coordinated attack by the Pillars.
Obanai’s sacrifice of his eyes to protect Tanjiro is symbolic of the significance Tanjiro will play in defeating Muzan. We speculate that Tanjiro’s trump card will take the forefront backed by the support of the Pillars.
3. Chapter 194 Plot
Chapter 194 begins with Yushiro finding Lady Tamayo’s cat, who he had turned into a demon – thereby, rescuing him. Yushiro and the team are scuttling around to heal the Pillars injured in battle, but to his dismay, Himejima seems to be in a far more critical condition than the others. At the same time, Yushiro prays that Lady Tamayo protects Tanjiro in battle, the narrative shifts to Tanjiro itself.
Tanjiro seems to be losing ground on the battle, especially when he realizes he’s unable to enter See-Through World due to lack of oxygen. Muzan inflicts a massive attack that is blocked by Obanai, who loses his eyes in the process. Obanai proceeds to engage Muzan in battle with the help of Kaburamaru.
The chapter closes on Tanjiro noticing Muzan’s scars inflicted by Yoriichi that had never healed completely. He views it as guidance by Yoriichi himself on the weak points that will help defeat Muzan.
